We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Please keep in mind our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office. Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has became very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable and will result in blocking the bidder. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our 8000 plus positive feedback.   We use a VPI machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery.   We take Customer Service seriously, and want you to be satisfied. Please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music!

When the Beatles went into the studio in 1968 to record this album, the title was to be called Get Back. As that was what the band wanted to do, get back to their roots and old ways of recording. They even brought in with them one of the very first penned Lennon/McCartney songs to re-record, "One After 909" - which turned out fine, and decided to film the making of the album. Unfortunately things did not turn out well. The band was as far apart as ever and as George Martin put it, they worked on songs more like they were doing solo projects and used each other as hire hands. Tensions ran high, fights caught on film and George Harrison even quit the band for a few days. They finally gave up on the whole album. Spector was later hired to salvage what was left on the many tapes.

The album was not released till after they had broke up in 1970, and the title was rename Let It Be, which by that point made more sense. But there is still some great music found on here. "Let It Be", "Get Back" and "The Long And Winding Road" are just a few true classics that show up. Still, Paul McCartney was angry about "...Winding Road" and the way it was re-recorded by Spector. Several songs ended up with different versions like "Across The Universe" and "Get Back", since their singles were produced and released by George Martin. The intended ending for "Get Back", which was used on the single, is almost never heard today since on the album's cut Spector used the ending that was recorded when the Beatles played the song live at their roof top concert. "Dig it" was another song that was gutted by Spector, too bad, the long version is a good one. But overall I think Phil edited the songs nicely. John Lennon also shows why he should have played more lead guitar for the Beatles with a real nice job at it on Paul's "Get Back", and a fine slide guitar on George's "For You Blue".

There's also an interesting label error on authentic copies that can boost the value a little. The original 1st pressings of the LP credit the song 'Maggie Mae' as simply 'PD' (or Public Domain). Since approximately 4,000,000 copies had been pressed ready for release this error was not corrected for some time. Soon before the LP went out of print a small second run was done, this time having the credit to 'Maggie Mae' as the names of all four Beatles.
